Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass (Wordsworth Classics) - English - Paperback - By Lewis Carroll
Product code: 9781853260025-6149b9143e40447f349da32b
With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, the University of Kent at Canterbury
This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were.
Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognized as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody, and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.
